When creating bold and successful collaborative designs, no one is better equipped than KITH’s Ronnie Fieg. Under the KITH umbrella, Fieg has created highly sought-after designs that almost always sell out immediately. While many of his collaborations with other brands have made waves throughout the industry, Fieg’s partnership with Clarks is considered on a completely different level. For the Spring/Summer 2025 season, Clarks and Ronnie Fieg have partnered up for another collection that brings back old favorites and a new design. Unlike other KITH collaborations, Ronnie Fieg and Clarks have created subtle, understated shoes that fit easily into any wardrobe. 

Ronnie Fieg x Clarks ‘8TH ST Collection’

For the new collection, Ronnie Fieg and Clarks have brought back returning styles like Sunderland sneaker designs. New to the collection are Laddow hiking shoes and Sandford 2 sneakers, which introduce a new hiking style and chunky sole to the lineup. The Laddow hiking shoe takes on a retro look with the appearance of an old-school trekking shoe. Made with suede and mesh uppers, a crepe midsole with EVA inserts, and lace fastening with nylon eyelets, the sneaker is a simple yet chic option. Grippy rubber outsoles allow high-traction movements and give users better support and stability.

Along with the Laddow hiking shoe, Fieg and Clarks have introduced the Sandford 2, a new iteration of the original sneaker. Crafted with plain and pin-perforated Sprinbok suede uppers, a tonal lace fastening, and a Vibram sole for maximum traction. Made for a retro look sneaker, the Sandford 2 design takes the original Sandford design to a new level. The designs retail for $220 each and are available via KITH and Clarks’ websites.

Serious Question: Why are you wearing anything OTHER than Taylor Stitch this fall?
Outdoors, Nature, Yard

Look, I am admitting it right here. The internet is forever. So I know I can never take this back. But I am not an unbiased journalist. Sure, I try to be objective in my reporting of brands and trends. But subjectively, I have favorites. Brands that speak to me. Brands that fit me well. The ones that define my lifestyle better than any others. Now that I have that off my chest, I can objectively say that there is no better brand for your casual wardrobe than Taylor Stitch. I have always loved them more than most, but this year, the Taylor Stitch F/W collection has me asking one very important question for all of you out there:

Why the Hell are you wearing anything other than Taylor Stitch this fall?

Christopher Ward’s new release turns its sporty Loco into a dress watch
Wristwatch, Arm, Body Part

Can a watch be a dress watch if it’s got an in-your-face design element like, say, the balance wheel visibly spinning on the dial? Christopher Ward is betting yes.

The Maidenhead, England-based brand just launched their C1 Loco Classic, a dressed-up take on last year’s C12 Loco. That watch was an angular, brightly colored sports watch built around the brand’s in-house CW-003 movement.
